You brought up a really good point for everyone.
DO NOT blow compressed air through the carbs and or any carb orifice with the diaphragm in place. Save the compressed air for when you strip the carbs and or rebuild them. The diaphragm is pretty durable, but you could tear it with a shot of compressed air.

I speak from experience as I did it to mine last year. It ran like a pig until I realised what I had done. It hadn't damaged the diaphragm, it was just dislodged.
After I removed and refitted them, they were fine.
While we wait to see if this works out, does anyone know how I can identify if my needle setting needs to be changed to run a lower fuel mixture? I just moved my plane from flying at 1,400ft to a new airfield at 6,070ft. It is on a Rans S12 and it does not have EGT to determine if it is running too cold.
